Toronto police are searching for a man who allegedly cut a young girl'shijab with a pair of scissors on her way to school.

Toronto police lauded Khawlah's quick thinking and response to the attack, with Const. Jenifferjit Sidhu saying she was "very, very smart" for shouting and joining the group of students ahead of her. Sidhu said this is "an isolated incident", such that she has never seen in her 20 years of service.

A Toronto police spokeswoman announced on Friday that the assailant had used scissors to cut six-grader Khawlah Noman's hijab in two attempts within 10 minutes while she was walking to school with her brother earlier in the day. She told police the man struck again when she and her brother were held back from the group at a stoplight.

A short time later, he returned to assault her again and ended up cutting 11 inches (30 centimeters) from her hijab, she said.

Sidhu says the girl turned around and screamed, which startled the man before he ran off.
